Davia – Open source visual, editable wiki from your codebase

In plain words

Davia is an open source tool that automatically generates visual, editable wikis from code repositories. Users point it to a repo, and it creates diagrams and documentation that can be explored and modified either in an IDE or through a Notion-like editor. Designed for teams documenting large codebases, Davia aims to reduce the time and complexity of creating initial documentation while keeping explanations visual and maintainable.

Interactive, editable docs designed for coding agents - davialabs/davia

Davia is an open-source tool designed for AI coding agents to generate interactive internal documentation for your codebase. When your AI coding agent uses Davia, it writes documentation files locally with interactive visualizations and editable whiteboards that you can edit in a Notion-like platform or locally in your IDE . npm i -g davia 2. Initialize Davia Initialize Davia with your coding agent: davia init --agent=[name of your coding agent] Replace [name of your coding agent] with the name of your coding agent (e.g., cursor , github-copilot , windsurf , claude-code , augment ). Ask your AI coding agent to write the documentation for your project. Your agent will use Davia's tools to…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, We’re Ruben, Afnan, and Theo, and we’re building Davia to solve a common problem: documenting and explaining large codebases is complex. It takes too long to generate even a first draft of a wiki, visuals are essential to understand the structure, internal docs should be editable in the IDE, and most solutions…

  Davia – A community platform to build, share, and edit applications2025 · docs.davia.ai · ▲16

  Hi HN! I'm Ruben, the founder of Davia (https://davia.ai/). Davia is a platform to build, edit and share applications, where builders get rewarded based on usage while users can discover and reuse any app's code to fit their own needs. The problem we're trying to solve: Today's AI coding platforms charge you upfront for creation - it's like paying per block modification in no-code solutions. This works for commercial projects because you're aiming to generate revenue that exceeds your creation costs, but doesn't fit the reality of side projects and community apps that builders…

  Hi HN, We’re Afnan, Theo and Ruben. We’re all ML engineers or data scientists, and we kept running into the same thing: we’d write useful Python functions, either for ourselves or internal tools, and then hit a wall when we wanted to share them as actual apps. We tried Streamlit and Gradio. They’re great to get something up quickly. But as soon as we needed more flexibility or something more polished, there wasn’t really a path forward. Rebuilding the frontend properly in React isn’t where we bring the most value. So we started building Davia. You keep your code in Python, decorate the…

  I Built Davia–A New Way to Create Interactive Documents with Code2025 · old.reddit.com · ▲6

  I’ve been working on something called Davia — a platform for creating interactive documents. These are “living documents”: each page is self-contained, combining editable content, interactive components, and data. You can read them, edit them, and actually interact with them — more like mini-apps than static docs. Here’s what makes it interesting: The interactive components are pieces of code generated on the fly, so you’re not limited to a fixed set of blocks like in Notion. You can create infinitely flexible functionality right inside a doc. Technically, an interactive page is an ensemble…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
